Vaccine

solarsailor · 27th November 2020, 21:57

News is breaking that the Covid vaccine rollout is expected to begin in 10 days time. No doubt it will take time, but hopefully this will be the start of a return to life as we used to know it.

I just hope that most will be sensible enough to realise that the announcement is not a sign to simply go back to doing what they would normally do.

I do fear possible side effects (or other unknown issues) though , normally a vaccine like this takes a decade to develop and yet they have produced these in a year.

Edit - I will be down the list. I fear side-effects generally for those who receive it.

Looks like I'll be so far down the priority list any problems will be known before I get a needle stuck in me!

Agreed, I seem to fall into about 8th place in the priority list of 10.

I just hope that those who does have it will continue being sensible and wearing masks until the vaccination program is completed, and not adopt the attitude " well, I can't get it so why should I bother!"

Fingers crossed. Too many lives have been ruined as it is.

I'll take my place in the queue then, 66,000,000 guinea pigs in front of me will do fine

More importantly for me, I've got an appointment at the barbers in a couple of weeks time

Dont worry. Some of us old fahrts will trial it before you young whippersnaper’s get it. There have already been a few back steps, but, as the saying goes, nothing ventured nothing gained. I so far know around 8 people who have had the virus, two of my best friends have it at the moment, and luckily they are all still with us.All these people are in their 70s. As I am an octogenarian, I suppose I will be amongst the first to get the jab, so I will let you know how it goes, or not as the case may be.

Sounds like a non essential journey to me!
